UNDER THE STAR CLASSICS: Bryant Park Film Festival
ForYourBelly CRUMBALICIOUS: Cupcake Kings If you still enjoy licking icing off of your fingers like a child as much as I do…try flavors such as red velvet, key lime, and Reese’s peanut butter for a change. Crumbs Cupcakes is what Sprinkles is in Los Angeles- a haven for those desiring a decorative sugar rush seated atop moist cake. My favorite is the apple caramel, with chunks of real apple and a caramel coating oh so sweet and rich.
SUMMER REFRESHMENT: Hint Drinks
When Burberry made this summer fragrance for men, they made it with the ladies in mind. I don’t think there is any woman that would not like this fragrance on a man, with its sensual mix of mandarin and white pepper. Fellows, take note for the summer…you want this.

Civility and business mix well at this rooftop garden near Grand Central Station where an after work crowd prefers a glass of Pinot Grigio more than a Cosmo.
Classic movies ranging from Psycho to To Sir, With Love will be shown at this free annual film festival in midtown’s Bryant Park. All films begin between 8pm and 9m. Get there early! 
Sofrito is a combination of ingredients that give Puerto Rican food its distinctive, delicious flavor. Sofrito, a popular restaurant on the eastside, brings these distinctive flavors to every dish. The menu includes authentic classics like pernil, a portion large enough to feed three people and arroz con gandules. Still not sure? I’ve found one thing on the expansive menu that never disappoints-- the skirt steak with chimichurri sauce. Garlic lovers will devour this tender cut for both its tanginess and distinct flavor. The pineapple mojitos are fresh and delicious, and live music and salsa dancing permeates the dining and lounge area on weekends. With prices much lower than most midtown digs, Sofrito is a must.
